Manfrotto 745XB MDeVe Tripod

The Manfrotto 745XB MDeVe Aluminum Tripod replaces Manfrotto's 745B MDeVe Tripod. Made entirely of aluminum, the Manfrotto 745XB MDeVe is a two-stage tripod specifically geared towards on-the-go videographers looking for a simple, straightforward and affordable tripod without sacrificing stability. With a maximum load capacity of 15.4 pounds, the Manfrotto 745XB video tripod is designed to handle payloads commonly associated with Mini DV or DVCAMs. An integrated 50mm leveling ball allows for quick set up with ±15° of leveling capability.

745XB MDeVe Tripod Key Features

Built-in 50mm Half Bowl Leveling System

The 745XB differs from the 754, 755XB and 756XB MDeVe tripods by utilizing an integrated 50mm leveling ball instead of a center column. This allows for quick set up with 15 degrees of leveling capability, and contributes to making the 745XB ideal for travel, weight, and compactness.

Four Different Leg Angle Settings

Four pre-set independent leg angles -- 23°, 45°, 65° and 88° -- give the tripod great positioning flexibility and versatility, and allow all intermediate heights from the stated minimum to maximum levels to be reached. Stability is assured at all four angles by the spring-loaded step mechanism. Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's center of gravity. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism has been greatly improved.

Quick action leg locks with new improved design

Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks

Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The ergonomics of the quick action leg locks has also been greatly improved.
